About github-release

github-release uses the GitHub Releases API to create and delete project releases and attach files to them. It can upload build artifacts without requiring you to look up release identifiers and make the API calls yourself.

The project provides binaries for different platforms and can also be installed with Go. It reads a GitHub token from the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.
